ENERGI-F703 gel, as a new topical treatment for diabetic foot and leg ulcers: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase II trial. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Diabetic foot and leg ulcers significantly impact patients with diabetes, prompting research into a topical gel called ENERGI-F703, which showed promise in healing wounds in diabetic mice.
  • In a phase II trial involving 141 patients across eight medical centers in Taiwan, participants were randomly assigned to either ENERGI-F703 or a vehicle gel for 12 weeks, with complete ulcer closure as the primary goal.
  • Results indicated that ENERGI-F703 had a higher ulcer closure rate (36.7%) compared to the vehicle group (26.2%), and the gel was found to be safe with no treatment-related deaths reported.

Article Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot and leg ulcers are a major cause of disability among patients with diabetes mellitus. A topical gel called ENERGI-F703, applied twice daily and with adenine as its active pharmaceutical ingredient, accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice. The current study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ENERGI-F703 for patients with diabetic foot and leg ulcers.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase II trial recruited patients from eight medical centers in Taiwan. Patients with intractable diabetic foot and leg ulcers (Wagner Grade 1-3 without active osteomyelitis) were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive topical ENERGI-F703 gel or vehicle gel twice daily for 12 weeks or until complete ulcer closure. The investigator, enrolled patients and site personnel were masked to treatment allocation. Intention to treat (ITT) population and safety population were patient to primary analyses and safety analyses, respectively. Primary outcome was complete ulcer closure rate at the end of treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02672436.

Findings: Starting from March 15, 2017 to December 26, 2019, 141 patients were enrolled as safety population and randomized into ENERGI-F703 gel (n = 95) group or vehicle gel (n = 46) group. In ITT population, ENERGI-F703 (n = 90) and vehicle group showed ulcer closure rates of 36.7% (95% CI = 26.75% - 47.49%) and 26.2% (95% CI = 13.86% - 42.04%) with difference of 9.74 % (95 % CI = -6.74% - 26.23%) and 25% quartiles of the time to complete ulcer closure of 69 days and 84 days, respectively. There were 25 (26.3%) patients in ENERGI-F703 group and 11 (23.9%) patients in vehicle group experiencing serious adverse events and five deaths occurred during the study period, none of them related to the treatment.

Interpretation: Our study suggests that ENERGI-F703 gel is a safe and well-tolerated treatment for chronic diabetic foot and leg ulcers. Further studies are needed to corroborate our findings in light of limitations.
